Collaborative Sourcing

Posted by: JYR
Rating:

Companies like Collaborative Software Initiative which apply the successful open source software model to essential application development among like-minded IT companies at a fraction of the cost of developing themselves, or collabworks bet on collaborative sourcing providing expertise, processes, and legal and collaborative infrastructure to help enterprise build trusted relationships, solve important problems, and share them among a growing network of enterprise participants. These companies leverage their respective strengths and typically save 3-4x over typical outsourcing strategies. By fostering customer collaboration networks, suppliers benefit from consolidated customer requirements and more aligned value chains. Domain experts and thought leaders benefit by extending their skills across a network of enterprise participants.
